According to the Home Affairs website, South African-born citizens are invited to apply for their Smart ID Cards and/or passports online via the eHomeAffairs platform, which allows applicants to:

  • Submit applications online
  • Upload supporting documents
  • Make online payments
  • And schedule a booking to visit a Home Affairs enabled bank office

Note: A branch visit is still mandatory for the capture and verification of your biometric detail (photos, fingerprints and signature). No appointment/booking is required to visit any Home Affairs office.
